I have to say that this was an upchuck long in coming; rarely have I filled in a circle with a No. 2 pencil with such savage glee. It's long past time that this particular boil on the arse of the body politic was lanced, so good riddance, Dick; couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

The CBS Radio news-readers this morning were all Sad Pandas about Lugar. Much blather about "reaching across the aisle" and such. Weren't the Vichy puppets in WWII France vilified for "reaching across the aisle"?

Congratulations, Indiana!! I hear Lugar got beat like a bass drum. Now if I could jest git shed of my own personal Congress-critter, Rep. (choke,cough) Steny -God-give-me-strength- Hoyer....(what the heck kinda name is 'Steny', anyway?) JohninMd(help!)

The only relief for the headache and queasy stomach that is the People's Republic of Maryland is to move the hell out of it. I did, years ago, and never looked back. Admittedly I only lived there for a year, but that was long enough...

I doubt he'll be handing out any job resumes for 2 reasons; one, he will be the ultimate inside-the-beltway lobbyist for his few remaining years, and, two, his retirement package from the Senate would probably fund the national budget for a central American country for a year or more...

Tam, you're 37? I could have sworn you were only 28 (ducking and holding a trauma plate behind my head)

At least now some other so-called republicans will hopefully start to realize, "Yes, it can happen to them as well." especially if they don't get their butts in gear and start following the Constitution, that they have taken Oaths to uphold.

And for the love of Deity, look at Patty Murray, my (G-d help me) Senato-droid From WA. Dumber'n a pallet of cinderblocks. And not good cinderblocks at that. That twit actually got elected on the fact that she actually owned tennis shoes and could put them on all by her own self, just like a big girl.
